The first thing that catches your eye is the tall statue of Zhou Gong.

This statue of Zhou Gong carved from a boulder in the Qinling Mountains looks ahead, holding a book in one hand and a sword in the other.

On the pedestal, engraved with the famous words of Zhou Gong: the bow man is the bow, and the six materials must be taken at the time, and the six materials are gathered, and the skillful ones are there. In front of the statue of Zhou Gong, even Liu Che respectfully stepped off the car and bowed deeply to this saint.

And the ministers and civil and military officials, as well as Taixue doctors and students, paid homage one after another, which was more serious than the etiquette of later generations of scholars and nobles when they respected Confucius.

This is also the status that Zhou Gong should enjoy.

He is strictly speaking, the true founder of today's Chinese culture and traditions and institutions.

The hundreds of schools, even the Yang Zhu school, respect this sage as a saint.

Confucius regarded the Duke of Zhou as his teacher – and he himself was the heir to the culture and spirit of the Duke of Zhou.

Therefore, Confucius once said in his later years: Even if I am declining! For a long time, I no longer dreamed of Zhou Gong.

In the past few years, in Liu Che's intentional or unintentional pushing, the status of Duke Zhou has been elevated to a position that is almost equal to that of Confucius in later generations.

Except for the lack of public canonization and posthumous sealing, all the other praises that can be thought of, Liu Che pasted them on Zhou Gong.

This makes the minister and the world a little strange.

But no one has looked into it.

So, unconsciously, Liu Che completely cut off the possibility of future generations looking for Confucius or Lao Tzu's descendants to erect a clay statue and play with the Holy Master.

At least the descendants of the Liu family have no possibility of playing this kind of trick.

The reason is simple.

Duke Zhou's status is already so high.

Suppose, someone wants to canonize the descendants of Confucius or Lao Tzu or Han Feizi.

So, should the descendants of Duke Zhou be canonized?

And it's a pity that the descendants of Confucius and Lao Tzu still have a continuation.

But the descendants of Zhou Gong have long been scattered in the vast sea of people and flew into the five lakes and seas.

After worshipping the statue of Zhou Gong, Liu Che inspected it in Taixue.

He is very good at this kind of showmanship.

Enter the classroom of Taixue, inspect the seats, go to the cafeteria, open the rice pot, take a steamed bun, take a bite, and then encourage one or two, and strictly order Yousi: no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor and too hard, no matter how hard you can't be a hard student, you must provide the best learning conditions for Taixue students and doctors.

Suddenly, it attracted the gratitude of countless students and doctors.

Then, under the protection of the guards, Liu Che went deep into the dormitory building of Taixue and talked cordially with the student representatives.

Well, this student representative, one surnamed Shentu and the other surnamed Zhang, are the children of the Gu'anhou and Beipinghou families respectively.

In the end, Liu Che came to the faculty building where the doctors lived, and cordially greeted and visited the doctors and officials who were 'willing to be poor' in Taixue—although the 'poor' doctors, even the lowest-level 600 stone doctors, lived in single-family houses, as well as maids, subordinates, housekeepers, and coachmen equipped by the state.

As for the 2,000-stone doctors, everyone's homes were built according to the official residences of the 2,000-stone officials.

Even in this Taixue, it is strictly according to the rank, equipped with all kinds of treatment that two thousand stones should enjoy.

There are sturdy and comfortable carriages in and out, and there are various slaves sent by the Shaofu and faithful butler service at home.

If visitors are needed, there is a military to open the way and protect them.

It also has the privilege of entering and leaving the Jiuqing Mansion at any time or sending a message of worship to the principals of the various yamen of Jiuqing.

This is also the reason why these doctors are reluctant to leave Chang'an and leave Maoling.

Although they have no power, they have all kinds of enjoyment and treatment that they cannot get in their hometown.

This literati, as long as the face is satisfied, there is nothing that cannot be discussed.

At present, in the Han family, all the doctors and officials combined, there are more than 300 people.

Therefore, for Liu Che, taking a few million dollars a year can buy off the entire public opinion and academic circles, which is simply too cost-effective.

And the doctors are even more willing to take such a policy.

Especially the vast number of doctors of 600 stones and 1000 stones, they simply regard Liu Che as their living parents!

Because in the past, although they had a slight name, they had some achievements in their hometown.

But in the whole world, who knows who they are?

Even many people don't have much reputation in the county.

However, after the Son of Heaven ascended the throne, he promoted them, unclothed them, pushed them to eat, gave them knighthoods, honored them with houses, and gave them the privileges of various identities and statuses.

How can such a son of heaven not support it, how can it not support it?

And they have automatically become Liu Che's biggest reliance and means of intervening in the academic and ideological circles.

It was precisely because of this that the various factions of the Hundred Schools of Thought, especially the fundamentalists and conservatives among the Confucian Gu Liang, Gong Yang and Han Shi schools, did not dare to dictate Liu Che's policies—as long as they dared, the saliva of the doctors and officials who brought their own dry food could drown them.

After finishing these superficial efforts and acting skills, Liu Che ordered a banquet to be held in Taixue's 'Qinxue Pavilion', and drank with the accompanying ministers, nobles, Taixue doctors and student representatives, and exchanged ideas and discussed academic issues by the way.

Naturally, many people knew right away - the play meat is coming.

Everyone held their breath and breathed faster.

Prime Minister Zhou Yafu was even more solemn, and as for Chao Cuo, he also looked cautious.

As a doctor of imperial history, Chao Cuo naturally had already been informed by Zhou Yafu.

Jedi Tiantong!

Such a great cause makes Chao Cuo also excited.

There is no way, in China, there has never been an emperor who can refuse the temptation and confusion of cultural and martial arts, and in the same way, there has never been an opportunity for a courtier to refuse an opportunity to leave a name in history and cherish it for all generations.

Not to mention, this kind of great cause is very likely to become the foundation of the gods in the future!

The last Jedi Tiantong Emperor Zhuan later became the Emperor of Heaven, and Xihe, who assisted him, was the sun god and the moon god.

Therefore, in the past few days, Zhou Yafu and Chao Cuo have been actively contacting and lobbying Jiuqing and the nobles of the liehous.

Thanks to the efforts of the two of them, the aristocratic bureaucracy gradually accepted the idea that 'scholarship and thought should not interfere in governance'.

However, the giants of Confucianism and the old Huang school are still at a loss.

In their opinion, the Son of Heaven came to Taixue this time to settle the dispute over Confucianism.

Therefore, the two factions of Confucianism and Law are both trembling.

Confucianism, in particular, could not afford to be judged 'wrong' by the Son of Heaven because of the sensitivity of the Sanbei case.

Because, that may well mean that the foundation of Confucianism as a whole is shaken, and Taoism is shaken.

………………………………

More than an hour later, in the diligent study pavilion, the guests were full, and the princes were like rain.

Liu Che sat on the top, holding a wine glass, and toasted to the old giants of Confucianism and Huang.

And the giants of Confucianism and Huang Lao were all flattered, and worshipped: "Your Majesty's civil and martial arts, three generations of far-reaching, ministers and others are fortunate, and His Majesty will not give up, appointed as a doctor, entrusted with a heavy responsibility, dare not to repay with death?" ”

It's not all about patting horses.

Nowadays, the doctors and officials of the hundreds of schools of thought, although in terms of authority, are very meager.

They couldn't even command any of the pavilion chiefs.

However, the status and treatment they enjoy, as well as the honors, are unprecedented for them.

Even during the Warring States Period, those sages who traveled to other countries were probably inferior to them in terms of treatment and honor.

Even better, they don't need to take any risks in officialdom because of this, and they won't be affected by the turmoil in officialdom.

Since Yuande, no one has been imprisoned for political struggles or other reasons.

Even the doctoral officials of the Lu Ru family were not questioned.

Even, their doctorate honors have not been deprived.

It's just that due to the decline of Lu Ru, they had to take the initiative to resign from their doctorate positions and return home.

In this way, the doctors of the Han family, especially the two thousand stone doctors, are naturally high-spirited, thinking that they have a high status and a respected status.

Someone even once said: If you can't punish a doctor, you can't give a courtesy to the common people.

Naturally, in such a situation, it is difficult for the doctors to keep inflated.

For example, Dong Zhongshu, doesn't he dare to drum up public opinion with the intention of interfering in politics?

In the final analysis, the doctors are still too arrogant by Liu Che.

After three rounds of drinking, it was night time, and the lights were on.

Inside and outside the entire Qinxue Pavilion, bright whale oil lamps were immediately lit, Liu Che glanced at these whale oil lamps, and he found that the oil lamps in Taixue were even bigger than the whale oil lamps in his own dormitory.

This made Liu Che feel slightly uncomfortable in his heart, but then he laughed.

For him, or for all emperors, a group of scholars who are content with enjoyment are better than a group of high-minded, stubborn, and opinionated donkeys.

Moreover, for China, the last thing it needs is a group of so-called celebrities who stay at home and work behind closed doors.

Scholars who open their eyes to the world and study the secular are the talents that this country needs.

After the dance, the singers in the lobby retreated one by one, and the music of silk and bamboo was suspended.

Liu Che raised his wine glass and asked intentionally or unintentionally: "I heard that in Taixue recently, the princes have been arguing endlessly because of things, so that they don't interact with each other, can there be such a thing?" ”

As soon as Liu Che's words came out, one of Dong Zhongshu's disciples, Chu Da, who had been punished by Liu Che for copying the "Spring and Autumn" and "Analects" three hundred times, immediately came out to worship and said: "Returning to Your Majesty, the sages of the Legalist family, the deception is too great, and our Confucian scholars have no choice but to fight back......

In these words, the belligerence of the Ram faction is truly unmistakable.

Immediately, a young scholar of the Legalist family came out to worship and said: "Back to Your Majesty, we Legalists are just talking about things...... as he said, he squinted his eyes, glanced at Chu Da, and mocked: "The big man dares to act and dare to act, why bother to cover it up?" ”

Chu Da, who was immediately angry, was about to explode.

Obviously, these days, there has been a fierce conflict between the two factions of Confucianism and Law in this Taixue.

But...... This is normal.

The position of Legalism to launch an attack is precisely the weakness of Confucianism.

Especially the Sanbei case, it is completely a bomb!

Confucianism did not dare not face the battle.

As far as the Legalists are concerned, whether it is the Sanbei case or the Zhibow case, it is related to their own core exposition, and they must not be compromised.

This is also a Chinese tradition.

You can endure anything, you can compromise on anything, and you can't make concessions to reason and reason.

Liu Che was very happy in his heart when he saw this situation, this was what he hoped for.

This matter has to be big, and the more violent the better.

In this way, he, the emperor, has enough reasons and excuses to intervene.

But on the surface, he smiled and said, "Don't you be so excited...... If there's something, sit down and talk slowly......"

While saying this, Liu Che still took the afterglow of his eyes and glanced at the expressions of Dong Zhongshu, Hu Wusheng, Zhang Hui and other giants and leading brothers, and found that these people were all expressionless, as if they didn't care about this matter at all.

But the disciples and disciples around them had already been gearing up, their faces were red, and they were eager to try.

"Returning to Your Majesty......," the scholar of the Legalists bowed, "and the arguments between us and the Confucian sons are two unsolved cases...... I am equal to the Confucian sons, arguing for more than ten days, and I can't make a decision for a long time! Today, I am fortunate to be here by Your Majesty, and I ask Your Majesty to make a holy judgment! ”

Liu Che pretended not to interfere, and said: "I have no intention of interfering in the academic dispute......

The scholar had already expected this situation - the old Liu family's son of heaven was hypocritical, and it was not the first time that the people in the world knew about it.

He immediately bowed his head and said in an impassioned tone: "The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's ministers, and now Your Majesty has the constitution of heaven in his mouth, and he has the best of life, and he moves yin and yang, and his majesty is the king of the world, and the parents of the people are also the teachers of all ages...... Although the minister is humble, he has also bathed in the grace of the saint, and the minister deeply thinks that today, except for His Majesty, no one can judge this case! ”

As soon as he said this, other Legalist ministers, scholars, and even the Huang Lao faction, as well as some Confucian scholars, officials, and even the princes, all stood up and bowed: "Your Majesty Fu Wei is the supreme of the world and the teacher of eternity!" ”

The remaining Confucian scholars were undoubtedly caught off guard.

But......

But they also had to follow up and bowed: "Your Majesty Fu Wei is the supreme in the world, the teacher of eternity!" ”

There is no way, who dares not to recognize the Son of Heaven as the arbiter of all and the example of eternity?

Liu Che looked at this situation, and Long Yan was very happy, and he was very satisfied in his heart.

This is exactly the power he needs, and it is what he desires.

From this day on, he has the final right to arbiter and final interpretation of academic thought (although these powers were inherent to the emperor, few people in the whole history have possessed them).

The ministers and scholars of the Legalist family were even happier than Liu Che.

Because for the Legalists, the king they need is indeed the kind of king who concentrates all power and has all the authority.

Only such a king is what they need, and only such a king can provide them with all the support and help they need.

If Shang Jun changes the law, if there is no filial piety support, how can it succeed?

And if Xiaogong did not have authority, it was naturally impossible for Shang Jun to have so much room to play.

To leave the thorn Jing Ke said
